Hosley has earned just seven career starts in the slot since New York used a 2012 third-round pick on the defender out of Virginia Tech.

Set to battle for snaps with Zack Bowman and Trumaine McBride among others, Hosley already teetered on the roster bubble as a potential cut. After losing their patience with an ascendant talent like Hill, Big Blue won't hesitate to dump a lesser talent with off-the-field concerns.

UPDATE: On Thursday, Hosley addressed his suspension: "I made a mistake, and there are consequences. I have to accept them and move on," he said, per the New York Post. Hosley also said he has sought drug counseling.
